. . . Groundbreaking First Recording of Steve Reich's Drumming . . . Today Reich, 67, is one of the most honored American composers since Aaron Copland, and concerts of his work take place regularly throughout the world. This early masterpiece serves as a reminder of his days as a Young Turk - and it still sounds spectacularly fresh.

Pierre Boulez is pristine and precise in 'Ramifications', and' Melodien' sounds glowingly lucid under David Atherton's authoritative direction. If you've obtained the DG disc of the concertos, this is an excellent follow-up.
